Hello there, I've been lurking around here from time to time for a while, thought I may as well join and introduce myself

I don't quite remember when I first came across lucid dreaming, but my earliest memory was a post on another forum a few years back, maybe three or four years ago. I remember someone claiming that they could dream consiously and control everything around them. I was a sceptic at the time, and I thought no way could that be possible, that sounds a little hard to believe. So I searched around and found out that it's actually possible! I was thinking to myself wow, something this great is actually real

I joined the LD4all forum a few years back and read about WBTB and MILD. I tried it for about a month and got no success. So I gave up. After about a year I had a semi-lucid dream, it lasted only a second or so but the feeling of realizing that I was in a dream was unbelievable. That gave me some confidence to try some techniques again. But I failed. Every year I would go through the same cycle of trying, then giving up.

Lately I've been trying Naiya's MILD technique, no success as of yet but I am not going to give up like before Even though I can't lucid dream (yet) I've been keeping a dream journal for a couple of years now, lately I've been keeping track of my dreams every day. Usually I remember a couple of dreams a night, up to four on a good night.

Any advice would be apprecaited, I read people complaining that they haven't had any lucid dreams after reading about it for a week, when I've known about it for years and I haven't had any proper LDs! It's really hard keeping my motivation...

Anyway, you will be seeing more of me from now on, hope I haven't bored you with my wall of text!
